Put Your Quarter In for Wreck-It-Ralph

Disney’s “Wreck-it-Ralph” is portrayed as a boyish movie revolving around a video game villain who just wants to be appreciated for his work.

At least that’s what the trailers reveal.

What the trailers don’t show is how the 3-D graphics enhanced every video game setting, making viewers feel as if they are really involved in the coding.

After visiting “Sugar Rush” for a while, the craving for cupcakes intensified, and no one wanted to see “Fix-It-Felix” with the “Out of Order” sign.

Allowing for character connection, director Rick Moore also adds characters such as Sonic and Pac-man. This gives classic gamers a sense of familiarity, along with the modern gamer’s relation to “Hero’s Duty” (hmmm, sounds like “Call of Duty”).

The various games make it easy to weave the audience through the film’s different plots and present a new twist to the movie’s cinematography.

“Wreck-It- Ralph” follows the usual Disney formula – main character has problem, makes a friend, saves something – but it doesn’t do it from a princess perspective. Well, not necessarily.

What really separates this film from other Mouse House movies is the music.

The movie score is fitting and the perfect mix between modern and retro. Dub-step DJ Skrillex is even thrown into the mix; keep an eye out for his cameo.

Again, the trailers don’t reveal much. But the short, animated film has an interesting plot twist that is a tear-jerker.
